La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25

[rendravolt]

Real Madrid want to rely on Benzema for each matches but Benzema was often to get injured and this makes Real Madrid cannot played him even during this season Benzema only can played him 12 times and Ancelotti was attempts to experiment with played other player such as Rodrygo as the replacement of Benzema but his performance doesn't really good and this is the risk when some of particular clubs always be rely on one player because if those players got injured the performance of those clubs will automatically decline

I was wondering in winter transfer window why Real Madrid doesn't try to signing new strikers because i think if Real Madrid bought at least one player probably they will solved this problem

Indeed, the lack of options for attackers has made it difficult for Real Madrid to face matches this season. We know that Benzema has also been absent lately so Ancelotti is used to having to install Rodrygo as a substitute for Benzema. But subconsciously Real Madrid also cannot continue to use this option because their opponents have also started to improve and of course that has also begun to read how Real Madrid's situation is on the field. So indeed the only way is to buy a new striker in the transfer market next summer if they don't want to experience another bad season.

 Madrid are really letting there guide down this time around, losing to Mallorca is a real shocker not even a draw came out from that game and they are falling behind on the table but will they redeem there self against the Egyptian warriors?
 Tonight's game is like a test if they can come back to winning ways because as it seems they don't play like the Madrid that issue out fear on the faces of opponent. I just wish them good luck because is not going to be an easy win.

There is no news about the policy taken by Real Madrid regarding transfers. The last rumor is Belingham which is in demand by Anceloti. But the news just evaporated. Actually, I am also waiting for the moment for this, because they are currently the right time to regenerate players who are getting old. Especially in the striker position. I don't really understand if they put it all in place to buy Mbaape? It became a mystery. They should be able to use this season to buy some of the players they need.

Real Madrid don't seem to be in a hurry to bring in new players to the Santiago Bernabeu. Real Madrid's transfer policy has changed a bit after taking lessons from the massive transfers that were carried out some time ago. Regeneration needs to be done in the Real Madrid squad after some of the main players have entered old age.

Striker is a position that must be overhauled due to the lack of goals scored this season, moreover Real Madrid struggled to win when Benzema was unable to play. Real Madrid needs to spend some money to find the ideal player in the striker position, Mbappe is Real Madrid long-term investment because of his young age.

Losing against mallorca was a very bad achievement by real madrid for this season. Real madrid is also consistently getting so many draws. Barcelona was just being so far from real madrid at this moment. Real madrid shall not continue the bad trend like this or barcelona will take the trophy easily without any doubt. I hope that ancellotti will be trying to reorganizing the strategy that used against mallorca. Madrid will be facing al ahly. Valverde was aiming to get FIFA world cup trophy this year. It's gonna be a special give for him.

Al haly starting to have good mentality after saw madrid has a bad result against mallorca. Al hilal has been waiting for the winner from this match. that will be a shame for madrid to lose against al ahly.

Real madrid has no chance other than going all out against al ahly. It's to securing the final spot against al hilal. Real madrid can boost the mentality from its player as long as the club will able to win FIFA world cup trophy.

that's gonna give a huge impact to the performance of club in la liga. Real madrid has two upcoming matches in la liga against easy team. Osassuna and elche would become a way for madrid to get full points.

I think that Barcelona did the right thing by not trying to make big signings in the January transfer window.

Because I don't believe that there was any need for such transfers for them. They have a solid squad already and the Lewandowski transfer has made a big impact for the team also. Besides their financial situation and FFP were also seeming like hindrances to their bringing more players by spending so much money in this transfer window. They are already in big debt now and they should focus on making up for it in time. This can happen easier if they have as much successful season as possible. Winning the La Liga title is essential for them now.

Barcelona tries to maximize the potential they have from their players. And it seems that Xavi Hernandez has enough faith in his current players that they are not trying to bring in a lot of players in the transfer market. I won't say that this move is right, but I also won't say it's wrong, because it's the coach who knows better what he needs within the depth of the squad.

It would be great if they get Mbappe.  It would be a vital transfer for Real Madrid.  I can't see a name to fill the gap in the forward line for long periods after the analogy.  Vinicius is important, of course, but if Mbappe comes, it will be of incredible benefit.  Of course, we don't know if Perez will get it or not.  If they want international success to continue, players like Mbappe should be transferred.

The coach was very satisfied with the pool of players he had and gradually all the potential players started to put on good plays individually. Barcelona, which has made huge changes, I think they have drawn a good path all this time, the squad has changed after Xavi, the game plans are very consistent for now, Xavi is a very reliable technical name as it will continue to be so.

So far regarding the FIFA Club World Cup or CWC event, at least the title has been won more often by the big European teams and at this moment, Real Madrid is the one who has the most chance of winning the Club World Cup title again. With this history, at least I still believe that Real Madrid will still win this match against Al Ahly.

It doesn't matter about the performance or the final result of the previous match for Real Madrid in La Liga, because playing in the Club World Cup certainly has a different tension so I'm sure Real Madrid will still be able to play well here.

Real Madrid does need some new players, especially in strikers and defense. Several times I saw Eduardo Camavinga used at left-back by Ancelotti even though he has adapted to the game, but it's clearly not his natural position.

When players start to be forced to play on new position that is not their main position, then there must be problem in that position such as a shortage of players or the form of the available players is not good. The situation is the same as Barcelona where they have played Gavi as left wingger some of the time while Ferran and Ansu Fati are available on the bench. Immediately that real madrid had to focus on getting new players, this really has been mandatory for them because of the needs of the team.

They have to fix and clear the available debts they have outside of the club and also within the club especially among the player's in the squad.
They made late moves for player's but that didn't go through as they planned, the move for the morroco player who did excellent at the world cup Amrabat was approached but the club said no even if the player insisted for the move. Ikay Gundogan will be a player that will likely switch to Barcelona next year.

[KTChampions]

The tour is completely over and I decided to check the quotes for winning La Liga, what a pain (for me as a fan of Real Madrid):

Barcelona 1.10

Real Madrid 6.75

Statistically, an advantage of 8 points gives just such chances, that's right, but I will hope that at least a personal meeting will reduce the gap between Real and Barcelona by three points, and it is more or less realistic to play the remaining 5 points in 17 games.

It's really pain to see that odd. Real madrid has such big odds. that being said if real madrid has very small chance to win la liga compared with barcelona. The situation can change drastically. El classico is just reducing three points while real has 8 points gap to the barcelona

Real madrid seems still facing problem to find a solution for the decline of its performance in la liga. Ancellotti is too native for not to buy some new players before. Benzema got injury again and yeah real faces another difficult situation again.

1.10 for barcelona is very small. 

Everything is clear with Real Madrid - Benzema's injuries, Casemiro's abrupt departure and the arrival of Tchuameni probably did not pass without consequences and had an impact on the entire season.
By the way, according to Ancelotti, Benzema will play in the final of the Club World Cup (if Real Madrid gets there haha).
But I don't know who will bet on Barcelona with such meager odds? Still, Barcelona are not the most stable team and the fact that they are now doing almost perfectly in La Liga does not mean that there is no risk that the situation will change. I would never risk in such a case for the sake of 10%.

I see something different here, I think it's good for the team if there are players who can play in several positions, that should be the ability of every player. But the problem is they lack players who are in that position and they seem to force it, which is not good.
I haven't seen the creativity of Carlo Ancelotti when Real Madrid is down like this.

[SquallLeonhart]

I think it has a lot to do with getting some brand new players integrated into the squad. Barcelona was playing like a fully squeezed lemon with all those oldies running around. They just have had enough, players like Pique. Gavi, Torres, Raphael and even Lewandowski brought in immense new motivation. That is one major reason why they are now again performing on another level. I think it is difficult to tell how much of a contribution Xavi is actually responsible for. He is most likely very good at communicating effectively. In the beginning I thought he might not make it, but he solved problems and got things under control.

That is true but not like the players they got are 20 years old neither, they found some young talent, like Gavi, but Lewandowski is also old, they just had players who were no longer good, Pique wasn't bad just because of his age, he was bad because he was bad, and that's all it is about.

Thankfully, they got some good players and they are doing much better now, and they spent the money in a right way to get the right people on the correct positions. They are still battling injuries a lot, people expected them to be a lot more healthy, but that's fine they are still leading the league and that's what matters, as long as they keep leading the league and win it, that will be enough.

[bekti3]

When you say 17 games is a lot, isn't 8 points just a little.
I think by saying 17 matches is still very long, it still makes Madrid's chance real. We know that earlier in the season, Madrid also excelled by almost the same points when Barclona lost concentration a little, but conditions are turning now and it's not impossible that there will be a reversal later. No.
I think there is still a chance, it just depends on the performance of the two teams in the remaining matches.

In the second half of this season, the Barcelona players showed a more mature game, especially the midfield role they had. we don't need to doubt Lewandowski, but for other players there are still many mistakes they made at the start of the season. in particular, when Barcelona played its matches in the Champions League. but in the second half of the season, the Barcelona players showed a different game. they play more compactly, the bonds of the players are starting to be strong, the chemistry is getting more solid. Unfortunately, I can't confirm that the mentality of Xavi's squad is getting more solid. but at least, Barcelona has a big chance to win the La Liga trophy this season.

On the other hand, Madrid's performance has decreased, plus several of their mainstay players have suffered injuries. This problem has made Madrid's performance even worse, and of course Don Carlo is not happy with his team's current situation. fortunately, La Liga still has 17 matches remaining. there are still many opportunities for Madrid to catch up with their points from Barcelona.

But that doesn't mean they won't have a few failures in their remaining 17 games not because I still firmly believe there will be some failures in this game just like they showed at the start of the season.
As for Ancelotti, actually I am also still thinking about how they will lose some of their core players there but are still trying to rotate several players against Mallorca.
Courtois, Modric and Kroos are still there but Ancelotti left this player out for a game where they really need points.

[BITCOIN4X]

Xavi seems to know what his team needs this season to navigate tough competition. He has good support from the club president and also the management, then he gets the money to buy some of the players that are needed.

This season they really need better left wing instead of just Ferran Torres or Ansu Fati, they are not in a stable form so Raphinha and Dembele are the players who often fill that position. Then in the last few matches, Dembele, who had problems with his fitness, had to step aside and made Xavi try to play Gavi in ​​that position. The result is good, Barcelona can still win but I don't think it will be good forever because Gavi is a midfielder. Barcelona also still need a right back because now Bellerin has also been sold to Sporting CP, then they played Kounde there but it would be great if there was a player who occupies his main position.

Ferran Torres, Ansu Fati, or Raphinha may not be experienced enough yet. So they don't play consistently well with the team. And missed a lot of easy opportunities. But they are very talented. They will become experienced if they get a chance to play regularly with the team. And will be able to perform better in the future. I would say it is possible to make these players more experienced by giving them a chance in less important matches.

IMO Barcelona needs to focus more on their defense now. Their defense is still weak. Barcelona needs to strengthen their defense if they want to win the title and continue their performance. If the defense is not strong, it is difficult to perform well against giant teams.

Barcelona will still need a very long time to get rid of the debt that they have. Because I honestly do not think they have actually made any smart moves about money management. They are consistently trying to get layers in the team.

That also regardless of how much money they cost. And I also do not think that Barcelona has actually got rid of the players that they do not need right now. I do not know if the financial situation is better for Barcelona right now. But I will say that they did not make any significant changes. So the financial situation of Barcelona must not have gone better.

Don't know if you follow the players or not but actually Pique is not there now he retired from Barcelona a few months ago.
At the moment Gavi is one of the good potentials for Barcelona and with Xavi Gavi is actually being honed now. Look at how the rotation has been given to this player, Xavi is now trying to get him on the wing. not only that Pedri and De Jong are currently being tried for a number of new positions even though only moving from right to left but that is a good thing in my opinion.

[Distraction]

Atletico Madrid are trying to bandage their wounds but they are still an unreliable team now.

Because you know how disappointing ending they had against Getafe. It should have been an easy win for Atletico Madrid normally. But they couldn't keep the match under control until it ended. If they can't even win a match like this in their home stadium how can I believe in them to get better soon? They seem like they are just trying not to drop down from top four. They can't do more than that either now actually. They have already lost their chance for the league title. I wonder if they will get into a revolution phase or something like that by the end of the season.
